The One by John Marrs
4.0
So before I started this book, one of my Book Club members was talking about this book and stated it was A LOT going on. So many characters and so much going on left me apprehensive on reading it. I heard there was a Netflix series on this, and books are usually better than shows/movies so I gave it a try.
In the beginning, I was like nope. This isn’t it. The chapters were so small, had the anticipation of getting to know the character taking too long for my liking. I truly appreciate John Marrs work of art so I kept going. And I’m so happy I did. I was drawn to each character and slowly appreciated the build up. I didn’t want to skip to the name I drew to the most, I simply just didn’t want to put the book down. Definitely looking forward to the Netflix series. And I’m super happy I got to pick the authors brain when he joined our Book Club meeting Nov 2020. It allowed me to appreciate his work even more.

The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory
4.0
Wow, I don’t normally read romance novels - but they may be a new fave. I usually cry during sappy movies - but never while reading books. I was rooting for them all the way. And though the book was semi-predictable once they fully connected after the wedding, it was still several plot twists to keep you turning the page. So a couple months ago, I ordered part 5, not knowing it was part 5. Then when someone told me, I said I had to get all of the books. So I just started this a day ago, and finished tonight. It was definitely a page turner, and I wanted to know what happened after I closed the book for a few. Would highly recommend for my romance lovers and non romance lovers. Maybe you’d realize you like this genre too.
